using autoltp</b></big></big></big></div>
  <br>
  <br>
  <big><big><b>Prerequisites</b></big></big>   
<ul>
  <li>All LTP installation prerequisites must be met<br>
   </li>
   <li>Perl modules Net::SFTP and Net::SSH::Perl <b>must</b> be <a
 href="http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_install_Perl_modules">installed</a> 
on MASTER machine. (<a href="http://www.cpan.org/">www.cpan.org</a> for instructions/downloads)</li>
   <li>MASTER and TARGET machines must have sftp and ssh capabilities.<br>
   </li>
  <li>IP addresses may replace hostnames in this document if name service 
is unavailable.<br>
   </li>
   
</ul>
  <big><big><b>Install files</b></big></big>   
<ul>
  <li>Go to <a href="http://ltp.sf.net/" target="_top">http://ltp.sf.net</a> 
-&gt; Downloads -&gt; Download latest version of LTP</li>
  <li>Login as root on MASTER machine</li>
  <li>Untar ltp-xxxxxxxx.tgz in /root</li>
     
  <ul>
  <li>tar -xzvf &lt;filename.tgz&gt;</li>
  <li>mv ltp-&lt;yyyymmdd&gt;.tgz ltp <i>(&lt;yyyymmdd&gt; should be replaced 
 with the drop date you are using</i></li>
   
  </ul>
 
</ul>
 <big><big><b>Setup/Edit config files</b></big></big>       
<ul>
      
  <ul>
     
  </ul>
 
</ul>
 
<ul>
   
  <ul>
     
  </ul>
   
</ul>
   
<ul>
  <li>edit runalltests.sh and modify the run line to include the PAN_LOG
options:</li>
   
  <ul>
     <li>ex: <i>${LTPROOT}/pan/pan -l $PAN_LOG -e -S $instances $time -a
$$ -n $$ -f ${TMP}/alltests</i></li>
   
  </ul>
   <li>tar up the ltp directory (<i>this is the ltp.tgz that is copied to 
the TARGET machines</i>)</li>
   
  <ul>
     <li>in the root directory of MASTER type tar -czvf ltp.tgz to tar up 
the testcases</li>
     <li>copy the resulting ltp.tgz to /tmp on MASTER (<i>autoltp will look 
for /ltp.tgz in the tmp directory</i>)<br>
     </li>
   
  </ul>
     
  <ul>
         
  </ul>
   
</ul>
   
<ul>
     
  <ul>
     
  </ul>
   
</ul>
  <big><big><b>Run LTP</b></big></big><br>
   
<ul>
  <li>cd to /root/ltp/auto on MASTER</li>
   <li>create a config file that contains the list of hosts (TARGETS) to
run LTP against</li>
   
  <ul>
     <li>example config file:<br>
host1,username,password,number of instances,time<br>
 host2,username,password,number of instances,time</li>
    <li>host is the hostname of a TARGET machine<br>
    </li>
    <li>username is usually root or a root privileged account</li>
    <li>number of instances is how many copies of LTP you want running simultaneously</li>
    <li>time is the duration of the ltp run where 10m = 10 minutes, 2h =
2 hours, etc</li>
  </ul>
  <li>run ./autoltp -f &lt;config file&gt;</li>
  <li>autoltp will then attempt to make ssh/sftp connections with your TARGET
machines and run the LTP testcases<br>
  </li>
</ul>
